Dutch song Gordon - Kon ik maar even bij je zijn
with lyrics, music, video and English translation songtext
I wish I could be with you
And still have some time to share together
It seems so normal for most people
As long as it exists
Kon ik nog maar bij je zijn
Kon ik nog maar even met je delen
Wat zo gewoon lijkt voor zovelen
Zolang het er maar is
Just a moment near to me
I wish you could teach me some more insights
But frankly lately I stopped trying
Because I miss you so
Was je nog maar even hier
Kon ik nog maar even van je leren
Wat ik niet eens meer wil proberen
Omdat ik je zo mis
I wish I still could be with you
So much I still would like to ask you
It is incredible how much it hurts
And even now my mind is full
Of what I feel for you
Kon ik maar even bij je zijn
Ik moet nog zoveel aan je vragen
Wat doet het ongelofelijk veel pijn
Zelfs na die tijd denk ik alleen
Aan wat ik voel voor jou
I wish I could be with you
And still have a sense what real love feels like
I know now what they mean with those words
It seemed so simple then
Kon ik nog maar bij je zijn
Kon ik nog maar echte liefde voelen
’k Weet nu wat ze daarmee bedoelen
Toch leek het zo gewoon
Just a moment near to me
I wish I could talk with you a minute
In former days we talked for hours
Oh, were it still like that
Was je nog maar even hier
Kon ik nog maar even met je praten
Zoals we vroeger uren zaten
O, was het nog maar zo
I wish I still could be with you
So much I still would like to ask you
It is incredible how much it hurts
And even now my mind is full
Of what I feel for you
Kon ik maar even bij je zijn
Ik wil nog zoveel aan je vragen
Wat doet het ongelofelijk veel pijn
Zelfs na die tijd denk ik alleen
Aan wat ik voel voor jou
Everything that I possess
I would let go at once
Oh, if I could exchange it all for you
Alles wat ik ooit bezit
Dat zou ik laten gaan
O, als ik het maar ruilen kon voor jou
I wish I still could be with you
So much I still would like to ask you
It is incredible how much it hurts
Still after all this time I can't endure this feeling
Kon ik maar even bij je zijn
Ik wil nog zoveel aan je vragen
Wat doet het ongelofelijk veel pijn
Zelfs na die tijd is dit gevoel niet te verdragen
I wish we could stand side by side
I still want to belong with you so much
And I cannot bear the distance between us
I wish that I could show you now
What I still feel for you
Kon ik maar even naast je staan
Ik wil nog zo graag bij je horen
Was je nu maar niet zover bij mij vandaan
Dan zou ik kunnen laten zien
Wat ik nog voel voor jou
I want so badly to show you
My feelings still for you
Ik wil je zo graag laten zien
Dat ik nog voel voor jou
